[Pkg-xen-devel] Python dependency in packages?

    What does python depend on python2.3 or python2.4. That should be
the one we depend on unless the code only works with one version
specifically. I've ran into this issue with other python packaging and
had python developers filing bugs against packages for that reason alone.
